London, July 14.
King George and Queen Elizabeth are to-day paying their Coronation visit to Wales.
Large crowds outside Buckingham Palace and Paddington station cheered Their Majesties when they left London last might to travel in a special train to South Wales.
The train remained for some hours in a siding a few miles from Newport. which was the first town the King and Queen visited this morning.
There they received a tumultuous welcome as they visited the site of the new civic centre. Afterwards they proceeded by road to Cardiff through roads lined with cheering crowds, and watched a gymnastic display by many thousands of Welsh children.
Later to-day Their Majesties are proceeding by road to Swansea.—Reuter.
